I thought I’d try and explain something that I’m sure looks weird if you saw it and didn’t know what the hell was going on. Have you ever seen a guide dog team cross the same street a few times? Have you wondered why in hell they just keep going back and forth over the …

Dream Whip
I had two really weird dreams last night. They’re not disturbing, they’re just…weird and I thought somebody would get a chuckle out of them. My first one was just too bizarre. It was like I was living in an evil parallel universe. I was talking to Steve in my dream about everyday things. I was …
You Do, I Do, Everyone Everywhere Loves, The Spring
Did anyone else have to sing that little ditty for the music festival? Did anyone else wonder what a hey ding-a-ding was? Apologies for butchering the spelling, I can’t find the lyrics anywhere! I can’t remember if it had some kind of weird title, but typing in the few bits I remember from when I …

The Babs Journal: Day 19 (May 27, 2005) and Beyond!
Wow! I awaken for the last time in the training centre. I get up, and I get ready. Everything but the bare necessities are packed. I’m attempting to squeeze the last of it into the suitcase. It all goes in and wow, not even a really split zipper. But it was close for sure. A …

The Babs Journal: Day 18 (May 26, 2005)
Well it’s over. It’s all over. And I leave tomorrow. Scary eh? Ready or not, here I come. Looks like we were heavy on the not ready side. Today was fun. In the morning we were real weasels. We managed to take a walk near where we got our photos done. The reason? There was …
Heavy On Confusion, Light On Logic
Explain this logic to me. You go to a store and buy some things. You have a backpack on. You say you’d like to put the things you bought in the backpack so your hands will be free. The people at the store help you put a bunch of stuff in the backpack, and then …
Do You Hear What I Hear? I Hope So.
Remember when I said that I thought evolution was removing people’s ability to see? Now I think they’re losing their ability to listen. People can hear, but they just can’t process what they’re hearing worth a shit. Here’s one example. I went into the post office. I told the lady that I had to mail …
The Babs Journal: Day 17 (May 25, 2005)
I feel better today. I slept really really deep last night, even slept in a wee bit. Got up, took this one out, she peed, took her back in, fed her, took her out again and she peed, but she didn’t poop. I was nervous maybe I’d just missed it. Came back, felt sick. Lay …
The Babs Journal: Day 16 (May 24, 2005)
Long day, am tired and low and lacking in confidence. Went out in the morning with her, exhausted, stayed up too late. missed her peeing. Went out again, caught some of her poop but not all of it. Didn’t even feel her back do that thing. How am I going to get this right by …
The Babs Journal: Day 15 (May 23, 2005)
Today was interesting so far. Went out on individual walks. Sorta felt more comfortable. I always feel a wee bit nervous when I start off, but we seem to fall into place. Or so you led yourself to believe. Had one crossing where she danced so we were facing into the middle of the intersection, …
